propeller are clean and free from obstructions.
-Your Aqua Jet is now ready to use - simply put it into the water, squeeze the control
trigger and away you go! For optimum performance, your body should be in a
horizontal position as you glide through the water.
3. Removing the Motor Unit from the Control Handle Bracket
-We recommend that the motor unit remain attached to the control handle bracket
